If it were old hands like Alger, Hobert, or Klein, they would realize upon hearing the word "Chief" and his question that it was definitely a death trap for someone with secrets like themselves.
But Derrick, after all, was inexperienced in the world, and actually seriously considered it: "Perhaps because of my pathway?"
He had just received information from "The Hanged Man" today that Amon claimed to be a descendant of the ancient Sun God, which is why he mutated?
Colin listened expressionlessly, sizing Derrick up and down for a few seconds: "What were you doing in the room just now?"
Derrick was still thinking about the relationship between the "Sun" pathway and the descendants of the ancient Sun God, and didn't immediately realize what the "Chief" was asking.
After understanding, he realized that he had just attended the Tarot Gathering! Could this be the reason?
He recalled Mr. Emperor's words: "Mr. Fool should be very interested in Amon; as far as I know, 'Marauder', 'Apprentice', and 'Seer' are adjacent pathways."
Similarly, Amon should also be "very interested" in Mr. Fool!
But of course, these thoughts could not be told to the "Chief". Derrick replied: "I was trying to practice some Beyonder abilities just now."
Derrick was just short of saying directly: "Chief", please think about my pathway! If you think carefully and seriously, you won't care what I was doing just now.
Colin quietly looked into Derrick's eyes, and after a dozen seconds, he said: "Unfortunately, what appeared just now was not Amon's main body.
"Before he appeared in your room, did you notice anything unusual?"
"No!" Derrick shook his head firmly.
For the next dozen seconds, Colin quietly looked at Derrick again, making Derrick feel hairy all over.
Just as Derrick was about to say something, the "Chief" said: "Your condition is stable, you can go back."
"Okay." Derrick breathed a sigh of relief, walked along the aisle, and left the bottom of the round tower.
After closing the door, Derrick carefully observed his surroundings for a while, sat on the edge of the bed and began to report the experience just now to "The Fool".
After the report, he felt a lot more at ease, and a wave of drowsiness came over him, so he lay down and soon fell asleep.
Not knowing if he was talking in his sleep, Derrick suddenly said in his sleep: "'The Fool'? Interesting."
...
Backlund, 15 Minsk Street.
After the Tarot Gathering, Klein first took a nap.
After waking up, he began to consider how to deal with the "Werewolf" Beyonder characteristic in his hand. This Beyonder characteristic was the trophy he obtained last week for helping "Miss Bodyguard" defeat the enemy.
Klein didn't plan to sell it immediately at the Tarot Gathering, so as not to attract the attention of the "Rose School" to the members of the Tarot Gathering.
He didn't know if he could sell it at the Tarot Gathering. After all, the Beyonder characteristics of the "Prisoner" pathway were not very useful, and it was obviously difficult to get rid of them.
At this moment, he heard a prayer from above the "Gray Fog".
Returning to the "Gray Fog", Klein saw that the star representing "The Sun" was expanding, spreading its spirituality, and he heard the prayer of Little Sun, learning about what happened at the bottom of the round tower.
Klein also had a similar guess to "The Sun", that it was likely that the other party had noticed the Tarot Gathering, noticed "The Fool" pulling people in a secretive way, and suddenly became abnormal.
This made Klein couldn't help but gasp. It was the first time he had encountered someone who could detect the aura of the gray fog, and he also felt the horror of Amon.
Klein believed that Amon would never be so easily eliminated. He spread his spirituality to the star of "The Sun", wanting to see if there were any abnormalities in "Little Sun".
With just one glance, Klein's eyes froze.
A transparent and illusory figure was wrapped around "The Sun". He had hands and feet, but twisted around "The Sun" like a python.
In the hazy picture, one could vaguely see that the illusory figure was wearing a black classical robe, a black pointed soft hat, and a monocle made of crystal on his face.
"The Sun" was completely unaware of all this.
Even Klein, who had seen many strange events, was taken aback by the other party's strange methods, and vaguely understood the other party's purpose: to "reside" in "The Sun's" spiritual body, waiting for the next Tarot Gathering, and sneak into the "Gray Fog" without anyone knowing. At that time, my control over this mysterious space might be stripped away!
Then Klein realized that he had to respond, either find a way to completely eliminate Amon from "The Sun's" body, or temporarily exclude "The Sun" from the Tarot Gathering.
Having already read "The Book of Secrets", Klein quickly thought of a way: Prying the power of this gray mist should be able to solve Amon.
He needed Little Sun to cooperate in the "Secret Rite", and he also needed a tool to pry the gray mist.
Klein's eyes turned to the "Blasphemy Card" that Hobert had "bribed" him with. According to his previous research, although the "Blasphemy Card" had no mystical effects, its rank was quite high and it could be used as a tool to control the gray fog.
He deduced it several times in his mind, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he responded to "Little Sun": "I know.
"I have something for you to do, to test whether this ritual is effective."
Klein simply waited on the gray mist. Soon, the ritual on "Little Sun's" side began, and Klein immediately felt that this gray mist had established a closer connection with "Little Sun".
Immediately afterwards, the entire mysterious space trembled slightly, and the static gray-white mist showed obvious flow. The crimson star corresponding to "The Sun" shone brightly.
Without spreading his spirituality, Klein could see "The Sun" closing his eyes and praying.
The transparent figure on "The Sun" raised his head back and looked upwards, the crystal monocle flashing slightly.
He stretched out a hand, slowly grabbing towards the edge of the red star, even though his hand was rapidly withering, it did not affect his determination to grab the edge of the star.
Klein's eyes narrowed. In his opinion, it was like Sadako crawling from a blood-red well to the gray mist!
He quickly carried out the next plan, took the "Death Card" to suppress the power of this mysterious space being pried, and at that moment, he felt the surging power above the gray mist begin to submit to his own spirituality.
But there was still a lack of guidance. After a little thought, Klein immediately had a way. He conjured a paper doll and used the "Death Card" to surround the surging power around the paper doll.
Suddenly, a tall figure with a pale white light appeared in front of Klein. A pair of wings grew out of the figure's back, a full twelve pairs!
The tall figure became sacred and full of the aura of death. The figure moved forward and overlapped with the red star of "The Sun".
Suddenly, the illusory figure on "The Sun" quickly lost its vitality, his skin turned pale and festered with muscles, and soon only a skeleton composed of white bones remained.
But he still did not yield, still staring upwards with his protruding eyeballs.
Until the bones of the skeleton broke, collapsed in the illusion, until the monocle shattered and disappeared into the void.
